It seems that in Toyota’s world, a Century comes every quarter of an actual century, and so 21 years after the last one rolled about, there’s a brand new third-generation model.

As before, there’s a long, boxy body underscored by wraparound chrome trim, but the design – previewed on a prototype at the Tokyo Motor Show last October – has been modernised for the 21st, um, century. The C-pillars, for instance, have been made more upright to highlight the rear quarters in what is predominantly a chauffeur-driven vehicle, and the beveled character line is said to provide an “air of dignity and excellence.” At the front, the square headlights are now fitted with LED projectors with Adaptive High Beam System (AHS), and they flank an intricate grille … [Read more...] about Toyota Century – new third-gen Japanese limousine goes on sale, 431 PS hybrid V8, priced at RM720k
